Then, he plunged his sword into his body. When Thisbe finally came of out hiding she found his limp body lying there. She tore of her hair in a rage.  To find what happens to Thisbe and Pyramus read the ending of the story.

My opinion
    The story of Pyramus and Thisbe was very interesting. I enjoyed reading how these two people fell in love and without the blessing of their parents ran away. It shows devotion to someone else, than yourself. The thought than young people are so in love that they would kill themselves for each other is amazing. My favorite part of the story is in the ending. Although, it is sad that they kill themselves for each other, it is amazing that they would do it for love at such a young age. It definitely brings depth to the story. The fact of the matter is, this story is really good and I don’t think any part of needs to be changed.

Recommendation
     I recommend this story to all young couples and others looking for love. It shows that it takes commitment to be in a successful relationship and love defines all odds. The type of person that would like this work is someone who enjoys reading about love and what it takes.
